...one word...

Monday, January 9, 2012

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Big Picture Classes detailing a new class they were starting for the New Year...One Little Word. The idea is to pick a "word of the year" and to focus on that word...to let it shape your year...to use it to help define your projects and your life. I was inspired immediately...and I knew exactly what word I would pick to be my word...ACCOMPLISH.

You see...I am a list maker...I make lists for everything. To Do lists, To Buy lists, To Make lists, you name it, I have a list for it...I am AWESOME at making lists. What I'm not so awesome at is finishing the tasks that fill up my lists...(except my "To Buy" list...I'm pretty darn good at completing that list...). So this year, I'm going to focus on accomplishing things...things that have been left undone in my home, and in my life.

I am also turning 40 this November...so I will be concentrating on completing my 40 Before 40 list, too...yikes...I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew.

Anyone wanna join me?
Do you have "one word" you are focusing on this year?

Great word. Mine is "Check". As in every time I complete a class, an assignment, a project of any kind. I will "check" it off my list. I have a year left of nursing school so each check is one check closer to graduating. Whoo-hoo.

I think that's a great word - I hope it serves to be inspiration to youas you are inspiration to others. :)

I need to go read your 40 before 40. I've been too scared to write one of those lists...partly because I'm afraid I won't be able to do the things I write, and partly beause it means admitting I'll be 40 in just a few years!! (Ok, five, but still...) ;)

My word is POSITIVE. I have recently turned a corner and am doing my best to be positive about where I am and where I am going. I am trying to notice all the good stuff around me and the good things that happen to me. By the end of 2012 I would like to be a POSITIVE person without even trying!

Hi Maggie...just stopped by for a visit after spotting your "word of the year" over at The Lettered Cottage link party. It caught my eye because I chose the same...accomplish! I too love to make lists...this year I vow to accomplish them. Check out my home goals on my blog www.elegantnest.blogspot.comCheers to a year full of accomplishments for both of us!!Laura@ElegantNest

What a great word for the year: Accomplish. I've found with Pinterest, I'll pin all day long, then go away and forget it all. This year I'm pinning, then pausing to make something from my pins. It's fun! Thanks for sharing your great word with us. Mine is Giving, and that's going to be the focus for me this year. Hugs ~ Mary
